Dhaka Capitals won the toss against Rangpur Riders and started the fixture by electing to bowl first. Their bowling unit started by getting rid of the opening partnership at an early hour of the game but soon lost the rhythm.
Alauddin Babu scalped 3 wickets at an economy of 10.75 and Mukidul Islam picked up 2 wickets at an economy of 6.75.
Since it was a high-scoring match and hence the batters were under pressure since the start of the game. Tanzid Hasan (30 off 21 balls) and Litton Das (31 off 27 balls) started with a positive partnership but once their partnership was broken, the rest of the batting unit failed to score runs and complete the chase.
